JLT Announces Significant Uprating to Wireless Connectivity Across its Existing Product Range of Rugged Computers
30 March 2015 - 6:00PM
The latest Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth and 4G RF solutions deliver ultra-high performance
connectivity for rugged computers in the harshest of
environments
Växjö, Sweden, 30 March
2015 * * * JLT Mobile
Computers, Swedish developer and manufacturer
of rugged computers for demanding environments, has announced a
significant technology leap forward for its market-leading products
by upgrading their wireless connectivity, giving customers
immediate access to the best wireless WAN, LAN and Bluetooth
performance in the rugged market.
Wireless connectivity is now arguably the primary
method of communication, particularly for mobile computers. By
investing in upgrading its existing product portfolio, JLT is
leading the way in making rugged computing more accessible and
reliable for all mobile users. Using wireless technologies in harsh
environments can present end-customers with unique challenges; JLT
Mobile Computers' expertise in developing robust and reliable
equipment for use in exactly these environments makes it a leading
solutions provider in its field. Ensuring a reliable wireless
connection in working environments where most technologies would be
rendered useless requires a sophisticated connectivity solution
leveraging the latest technology.
By integrating support for dual-band 802.11 ac,
JLT delivers dramatically faster Wi-Fi network speeds of up to 867
Mbit/s. It brings the freedom of Gigabit-Ethernet to the mobile
environment, even in the harshest of working conditions. The new
technology also supports more channels and therefore more clients
on a network's access point. This increased bandwidth delivers even
higher reliability, as well as much lower latency over the network.
In short, it allows more operatives to work more efficiently in
even more diverse locations.
In addition to dual-band Wireless-AC Wi-Fi, JLT
has also integrated the latest Bluetooth EDR 4.0 technology, which
simplifies pairing with a Bluetooth-enabled peripheral. The VERSO
range has also the option to specify 4G LTE WAN connectivity with
fallback capability to 3G and GSM, further increasing bandwidth and
improving overall connectivity. The 4G option also includes
Assisted GPS/GLONASS support.
By being the first to offer this level of reliable
high-performance wireless connectivity, JLT will extend its
leadership in its existing markets within warehousing, ports,
manufacturing and mining, to other vertical markets that demand
high reliability coupled with performance.
Smarter networking
The new Wi-Fi technology now being deployed in the JLT VERSO series
and the JLT1214N logistics computers brings not only greater
bandwidth but more intelligent network management, supporting
bandwidth balancing that can adapt to the conditions of the
network, such as demand and number of users. Furthermore, all of
JLT's computers come with built-in highly sensitive Planar
Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA) technology for both the Wi-Fi and
Bluetooth radio, designed specifically to deliver higher coverage
in environments that offer poor RF coverage. For more challenging
RF environments, such as steel cabins, the computers also support
external antennas for both the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radio, which can
be configured in the field, even after initial installation.
"The decision to upgrade not only our future
products or those currently in development, but also our existing
products, with the very latest in wireless connectivity is yet
another display of our commitment to remaining a leader in the
high-performance rugged market," said Per Holmberg, CEO, JLT Mobile
Computers. "This step dramatically improves the connectivity
performance and customer experience within the rugged space."
Availability
The JLT1214N, the VERSO series and the VERSO+ 10 products are
available today with the new technology upgrade.
